And the NYC Marathon Winners Are . . .
Although she has won the race three times, favorite Paula Radcliffe placed fourth in the New York Marathon. The first woman to cross the finish line was Derartu Tulu — the first Ethiopian woman to claim first place in the NYC Marathon in its 40-year history.
Tulu ran the course in two hours, 28 minutes, 52 seconds and was there to comfort Radcliffe as the world record holder limped across the finish line, holding her knee and crying in agony.

Unranked Mommy Kim Clijsters Wins US Open
Just like Paula Radcliffe illustrated that motherhood and winning marathons are not mutually exclusive, and just like Dara Torres proved you can come back after childbirth and win Olympic medals, tennis pro Kim Clijsters shows that you can come back and be a champion as well.
Clijsters retired from tennis in 2007 and gave birth to daughter Jada Ellie at the end of February 2008 after a tennis career winning the US Open in 2005, and making it to the finals in the Australian Open and the French Open. By no means a shabby career.

Running 101
When I watch marathoner Paula Radcliffe run, I feel deep in my bones that I am not a natural born runner. Not that this has kept me from pounding the pavement since when I run on concrete sidewalks I literally feel that in my bones.
Since running seems like it should be natural but doesn't, I work on my form.
Why Lance Runs
The prestigious and tough Boston Marathon is a week from today. And my man Lance (who seems to be everywhere these days – is there a product he isn't the spokesperson for?) will be running in it.
